  4. Sharing Economy (circular economy): A collaborative economy that is built around the concept of sharing/re-selling physical or intellectual resources between peers.

  5. One for One: A model that allows customers to purchase a product that additionally sponsors a product of equal or lesser value to be sent to individuals/communities/organizations in need.

  6. Cradle-to-Cradle Products: Products designed such that once consumed they are easily collected, segregated and converted to new products.

  9. Open Source (services): Services and research findings or methodologies that have been made openly available for all individuals/companies/organizations to use freely.

  10. Sliding Scale Rates: Rates for services that are defined by a company/practitioner on a sliding scale basis, which allows certain markets to subsidize those in need through their purchases. Often described as “partial pro-bono”.

  12. Percentage of Profit/Revenue: A model in which a company in the service or product-oriented business space donates a pre-determined percentage of their profits or revenues on a yearly, quarterly, or more frequent basis in order to help support environmental causes.

REVENUE MODELS:

  1. Hourly Rate: A structure for paying for a service- provider’s work. Typically when someone is working on an hourly rate, it is for a small job, or for maintenance, and an estimate of hours is provided prior to commencement.

  2. Project/Flat Rate: A structure for paying for a service-provider’s work. A Project/Flat Rate is written into an agreement which covers a set scope for a specific project or engagement in order to accomplish the goals of a project without needing to keep track of hours.

  3. eCommerce: Originally short for “electronic commerce”, eCommerce is a revenue model leveraged for the sale of digital or physical products in which the transaction and customer information are being transferred over the Internet.

  4. Pay-What-You-Want: A revenue model that requires the customer to determine the perceived value of the product or service they seek to purchase.

  5. Freemium: Originally known as “crippleware”, the Freemium model offers users with multiple tiers of packages for a product, with one of those tiers always being free. Most commonly leveraged in the digital space, the free tier includes a limited amount of features, while the paid tiers offer a substantially more robust experience/suite of features.

  10. Free Sample: Leveraged by department stores and grocery stores most commonly, Free Samples allow a consumer to obtain a small portion of a new product / service at no cost in order to inspire them to buyin to the full service/product offering.

  11. Cross-Subsidy: A revenue model/pricing structure in which the purchases of a consumer directly fund another product/initiative of the brand they are buying into without them realizing it. Put simply, a cross-subsidy is what happens when one thing pays for another thing.
